in THE MAIN WALL
Can anybody point me to a site that can give me some information on heating costs in New England. Oil vs gas vs propane. I had a debate with another maint tech today. I thought (could be wrong) that oil heat is considered the cheapest way to heat a home in the North East. He says over 10 year average gas wins hands down. Any help on this one?? I'd also like to get some ball park, percentage wise what the differences are. Also while I'm asking questions, I see a lot on the wall about "wall hung boilers". What the heck are they?. Is this a fancy name for point of use fired water heaters or do they actually do a full house. Are they similar to the Munchkin? Who makes them..I'd like to do some research.
